I dropped him a PM with the same message :). Although I hesitate to say "hackers", as I'm guessing they just tried "vent??.gameservers.com" until they hit the first one without a password. Perhaps it might be time?

it did say mod in front of their names.

Yeah, that fooled me initially too. But *their* "mod" was a suffix in parenthesis, whereas an actual mod is a prefix in square brackets. They actually signed in and out a few times to try and get the illusion right :).

Thats fine guys I will start doing that then, alternatively I can set a password to the server if all of you wish and send the passwords to everyone individually, OR I can lock people without passwords to only the initial room and lounge, and everything else with require you to be on the forums for a tiny bit.

The issue is accessibility for members, but I think if i give a couple more people [MOD] power then at least one person will be on so people can get access to the other rooms by the moderator giving them a password, I will try to get to this tonight, so whenever I or Fealorin are online, I will probably give someone else moderator ability as well, but thatll be limited to whoever is online on the ventrilo lots, so we can at least have one person online most of the time.

Update MOTD, and that will contain whether I will be doing any maintenance, updates or anything in between. Thanks for dealing with the annoyances of hackers, they will be dealt with ;)

Thanks for the continued maintenance Flamga; the server is growing in popularity, so it's good that we're securing it for our own purposes :).

For those in Vent who encounter another issue such as the one we had (however briefly) last night, while I tend to be idling in AFK a great deal of the time, I'm generally halfheartedly paying attention. In the case that I've actually wandered off, please feel free to drop me a quick email at my gmail account (my username @), as that generally gets my attention, and I'll try to resolve the issue as soon as I can get to the computer. Hopefully we can keep hijackings to a minimum!

OMG OMG OMG we have broken the 1000 rank and are up at the 85th percentile, which means we are becoming very popular online in regards to our ventrilo server, i hope everything is satisfactory on there and there are no issues :). Its also good to see so many people come on regularly and stay online until others come online, we have an average of 10 people online at a time!

Thanks for everyones support and GLHF when your killing everyone!

Had to reformat my hard drive now no matter what I do I cannot access the vent. Only thing i think that might be fucking me up is the "password" we created for ourselves. I have no idea what mine is but I don't have the same IP so I don't see why it would not work. Any ideas?
